Reaction Steps

Ethylene chlorohydrin (9.0 g) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxy-3-(2-phenylethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro quinoxaline (5.59 g, 22 mM) in aqueous 5N NaOH and t-butanol (60 ml), and stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours. The t-butanol was distilled off in vacuo, water was added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted three times with chloroform. The extract was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was charged on a column of silica-gel (C-200, 170 g) packed with chloroform, and eluted with chloroform-methanol (200:1) to obtain compound 645 (6.73 g, yield: 90.9%).
